I don't like the story.
In my point of view the story is little narcissistic, and the star is a selfish materialistic, because for this girl it becomes obsessive to be famous.

I think the star was being selfish and immature. If the teen was famous, she should not be caring about her popularity, such as the new album of fragrance releasing. The star should be giving an example to her fans and remain calm, taking care of their family and friends, and not overreacting or panicking about what's happening.

In my opinion I think that the Star is selfish and insensitive because she just care about her life and being famous. And she treat her parents like they are nothing to her.

I actually relate to this experience because when we were in our first lockdown back in March of 2020, I thought that only a few days or weeks would be enough for the quarantine to end, and it ended up being over two months. About this confinement period, I truly don't like it. The online school doesn't offer the students the teaching methods that face-to-face classes offer, and it eventually damages the students' grades. And, also, not being with other people or leave or houses is unhealthy for the human race and our mental health.

In my opinion, the Star's actions are incredibly narcissistic: her country is in war, people are dying and the only thing she cares about is her fame. She is also very rude to the people around her and childish to the point of denying reality because she does not like it.

Cláudio Barros

I recommend Carolina Loureiro .

The star is in denial and she is pretending that everything is normal. She should be helping her parents and learn to deal with the situation instead of ignoring the problems and her parents, and should forget the fame and the money.

Bruna Costa

2021-03-02 14:29:54 UTC

I would recommend this story to others, especially in this covid time, because it makes us realize that what matters is the non-material things, and even though we are in lockdown, we can still see the bright side and be positive about this.

Ana Margarida

In my opinion the star is: selfish, materialistic, rude with her parents and obsessed with her career. She don't know what is happening in her country that is a form that we see that she just think herself.

Yes, I would recommend this story, especially in this time of covid, because it makes us value the people who love us the most and care about us and also to occupy the time when we do nothing.

In this period of isolation, I realized that being home as I always wanted is not very good and now I just want everything to go back to normal. This confinement affects people's mental health and students do not learn very well.

In my opinion the star was very selfish materialistic and disrespectful to those who cared about her. The world was at war and she was obsessed with fame. Despite being afraid she didn't care about her parents, which was something inhumane.

Leandro Torres

2021-03-02 14:32:24 UTC

In my opinion, the star was very selfish and self-centered with those who cared about her. She only thought about her fame and the launch of the fragrance and album. She didn't help her parents who were sick. In my opinion, she was irresponsible.

Beatriz Freitas

2021-03-02 14:32:32 UTC

Yes because she have to stay home like we did at first time but compared to her, we want to stay home at first but a few months after we want to go to school. Well in this confinement I feel bored and need to talk face-to-face with my friends.

Manuel Fernandes

Nuno Lopes

2021-03-02 14:33:33 UTC

In my opinion the star was rude, she only cared about herself and her career. The world arround her was destroyed and she only cares about her career and I think that was a bad attitude.

Catarina

2021-03-02 14:34:45 UTC

Yes because we have to stay at home like her while something bad happens out there. In this confinement period I miss my friends and the school. The online is being hard because is really difficult to learn if we are not with the teachers and of course we get worse grates in some subjects.

Tomás

In my opinion, the star was very selfish, materialistic and unfortunately she despised those took care of her.

In my opinion Star actions are narcissistic, because she is materialistic, arrongant ...

Ana Margarida

We have good and bad things when we are at home. Last year when we went to our homes we think that would be little time but it wasn't. If we don't think in positive thinks we don't will be pass this confinment and we could develop a depression or other problems.
I was really tired at the end of a school day in front of a computer, then I had my brothers 🤬 me off so I had to develop a way to rest our minds. Run in nature was and is a good think that help us.

I consider the actions taked by the Star are totally unacceptable. In this type of situations, we should act in accordance with reality anda the gravity of what's happening. Her behaviour was immature since she was putting not only her life in death danger, but as well as her family. This person needs to consult a psicologist to solve her addiction to fame and becoming less narcisist.

Leonor Cruz

2021-03-02 14:37:14 UTC

I think that I can relate to the feeling of trying to deny what is happening to the world. It was hard for me in the first months of the first lockdown to believe that we were living in a pandemic. However; I stopped to denying reality

Beatriz Freitas

2021-03-02 14:37:31 UTC

Yes, I would recommend this story because it makes us think about the situation of now and reflect how important people are to us.

Bárbara Silva

2021-03-02 14:38:00 UTC

I find that the main character is a self-centered brat with a superiority complex. I think that she must consider her fame to be what defines her as well as her wealth. Her attitude hurts everyone around her, especially her parents, who got extremely sick.

Pedro Carvalho

2021-03-02 14:40:09 UTC

In my opinion, the star was selfish and stingy, because she just care about herself and didn´t think about the problem that the world faced.

Tomás

2021-03-02 14:42:41 UTC

I don´t think that we can compare to this short story. In this confinement, there were positive and negative aspects, but unfortunately the negative won in relation to the positives.
Spend more time with my family and withe my dog were the only positives. While being at home cause me a lot of anxiety an I was abou to lose two very important people people on my life, but it´s over now and now I just hope teachers don´t send more homeworks.

Sara Miranda

In my opinion the star is selfish and insensitive because she only cares about her life and fame, she is very materialistic and her actions are incredibly narcissistic.

Bárbara Silva

I don't think that I can relate to the lockdown experience described in this short story. She was feeling anxious because she was affraid that her career would end and she would stop being a famous celebrity. Personally, what I miss the most is my friends or hugging my grandparents. My experience is different from hers but I understand how it can be relatable for some people.

Mariana Rodrigues

2021-03-02 14:44:03 UTC

Yes, we stay at home like her and it becomes bad . Maybe, I feel a little sad because I am not with my friends, and we learn less.
I just hope that everything goes back to normal in meantime and that I can be with my friends.

Pedro Carvalho

2021-03-02 14:44:52 UTC

I relate this story to our present situation because we have to stay home too and we can´t do our normal lives.
i think that second lockdown is being harder than the first because i´m felling more tired physically and psychologically than the other lockdown

In my opinion the star is selfish, insensitive is a person who only looks after himself, worrying only about being famous by treating his parents as strangers

Leonor Cruz

2021-03-02 14:47:03 UTC

Yes, I would recommend this story because it shows that when you are living complicated times the last thing you should do is denying what is happening and push away the people that you care about.

Ricardo

2021-03-02 14:49:06 UTC

During this quarantine period I learned that being at home is not as good as I thought, even though our house is a safe place, our refuge would make it tiring to remain closed and not be able to do anything to change.

João Dinis

2021-03-02 14:50:51 UTC

Yes, because this story talks about a teenager who only cares about herself and is rude and impolite.
This is an example of the person we are not supposed to be.

Ana Margarida

2021-03-02 14:51:28 UTC

Yes, I recommend this story because it talks about a experience during lockdown that is what we are live now and is a example of a person that we can´t become.

Pedro Carvalho

2021-03-02 14:51:50 UTC

I don`t recommend this history because i don´t like it. And i don´t like it because i think it´s a litle exaggerated with her behaviors.

Bárbara Silva

2021-03-02 14:51:53 UTC

I would recommend this story to others because, even though I couldn't relate, many people will identify with the teen's point of view and it might help them realize that brighter days will come and that they're not alone during these difficult times.

Manuel Fernandes

2021-03-02 14:53:04 UTC

I wouldn't recommend this story to other people because i didn't find it real interesting and i can't find many similarities with nowadays reality. I think that the protagonist was narcissit at a point and at a situation where no one would act that way.
To sum up, I hink this story does not correspond with reality.

Guilherme Lopes

2021-03-02 14:53:07 UTC

I don't relate this short story to my present because I`m not rude to other people. Yes I`m sad with this quarentine but not like her.

Cláudio Barros

Regarding the main actor I think he has a serious problem of self-centeredness but she has to focus on her career which is the most important and what defines her.

Beatriz Silva

Yes, I would recommend this story because it has some similar aspects to what we are living in this time of covid-19. We should value people more than material possessions, because this virus caused a lot of deaths which makes you think about life and how precious it is.

Guilherme Silva

During these periods of isolation, I have come to realize that the human being, no matter how hard he tries to dominate the world, will never be able to do it.

Manuel Fernandes

2021-03-02 15:00:59 UTC

To be honest, I can relate with this story with my second lockdown.
The first lockdown, in March 2020, was a break to me. Back in the day, I had time to take care of myself, watch movies and series and even talk to new online friends. However, now in 2021 lockdown I feel desoriented and seems I'm lossing contact with some of my friends because we don't hang out in a long time. I miss do normal stuff like going to a shoping or a cinema and that't driving me crazy. I'm exaust because of online class and all the work we have to do and the pressior that my family put upon my shoulders.

Yes, because we have to stay at home like her, while something very bad is happening in the world.
There are days when I love having to stay at home, because I feel more protected and safe, but on other days I feel the need to go back to school, to be able to talk to friends and even to learn better, because at home it is more complicated, be it because of the internet or other things, because also when we are closed at home and always in front of the computer, we can develop other diseases, so the best way to overcome this confinement is to be calm and try to relax.

Beatriz Silva

2021-03-02 15:05:27 UTC

In the isolation period in March last year, I was not expecting it to be that long, which made me sad because I was learning almost nothing from the online classes and left me frustrated. In this new confinement, I am trying my best but it is hard to reconcile school with mental health. I hope that one day everything will be back to normal and I want to be able to go to school without fear of getting sick.

Guilherme Silva

2021-03-02 15:05:54 UTC

Yes because this story talk of how people are materialistic and despise others

João Dinis

Sara Miranda

2021-03-02 16:45:04 UTC

Yes, I would recommend this story, especially at this time that we are going through, because it makes us reflect on what really matters in life, and on the people we should value, who are the ones who like us most, and we also realize that we should not give so much importance to material things.

Nuno Lopes

2021-03-04 09:20:57 UTC

Yes, because it tells us about a girld that's loked at home and that is what we are living at the moment. The storie is also related with fame and that's a curious thing because many people want to be famous but they don't know about the background of being famous.
